Makes sense from an Oilers standpoint. Bourgault doesn't seem like he's tracking to "make it" as anything, and seems extra redundant for them, now with Savoie in the fold as a much better version of vaguely the same sort of player. So Jarventie makes a lot more sense to me. Has to get healthier and still seems to have a lot of work cut out for him. But probably closer to making a depth impact, if he's going to at all. Which fits Oilers timeline better.
Not sure what Ottawa likes about this, but hey...2-for-1! Must be a good deal!!!??? I guess? Mitigating some risk by pushing things down the road a little further?
